Chris Mundy We’ve bolstered our support for advertisers that are new to TV with a Managing Director dedicated copy executive, and have also published a handy guide with everything you need to know about getting your ads on air and keeping there. Michael Haydon, our new Training Manager, has revamped our training programme for 2012 and it is now also CPD recognized; if you ever wondered what the team do in the morning viewing you’ll now be able to take part in a mock one to find out! An objective for the whole team last year was to ‘get out more’, not be - cause we’re a bunch of sociophobes (quite the opposite… see Clearcast parties passim) but because we think we can help you better by having a better understanding of how you work. Read on to find out more about how the team went about this. Also inside we explain why some apparently innocuous charity ads fall foul of rules on political advertising, give you the heads up on supers and flashing, and provide more information on the CARIA ® Agency link we’re launching to minimize the time media buyers spend keying data in for their campaigns. Hopefully you will get a sense that things don’t stand still very long at Clearcast. If you’d like to find out more about what’s going on, please do look at our courses or get in touch.

    Chapter-1 Industry Profile 1 1.0 INDUSTRY PROFILE 1.1 Introduction Direct to Home (DTH) is a distribution platform for multichannel TV programmers on (high frequency of 11.7 to 14.55 Gigahertz) by using a satellite system which transmits signals directly to subscriber premises. The term predates DBS satellites and is often used in reference to services carried by lower power satellites which required larger dishes. 1.1.1 How DTH Work:- Following are the simplified steps on how DTH works: 1. Tata Sky uplinks all channels from broadcasters to its satellite (INSAT 4A). 2. The satellite sends these channels in digital format to the minidish fixed outside your home. 3. The minidish relays the channels to the digicomp which decodes the channels and sends them to your television, giving you an incomparable television screening experience with DVD quality picture and CD quality sound. 2 1.2 DTH INDUSTRY IN INDIA 1.2.1 DTH Players in India In earlier days there was only one TV channel in India the “Doordarshan”, Channel doordarshan was owned and operated by government of India. In those eras every home which The Cable Television Ordinance Law was passed in January 1995. This enabled cable operators to provide channels and later on private companies were allowed to air their own channels and this lead to the explosive growth in number of TV channels and number of cable operators. The growth of TV channels & cable operators created a big industry and market opportunities. Until few years back there were as many as 1,00,000 VkyTSishAD3 cable operators across India.

    ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY on the CONSULTATION DOCUMENT in This Annex 6 of Sky's Response We Provide a Non-Exhaustive List of the Erro

    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY ON THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT In this Annex 6 of Sky’s Response we provide a non-exhaustive list of the errors in Ofcom’s Consultation Document, which are not identified elsewhere in this Response. The significant number of errors, inaccuracies and misconceptions suggests that Ofcom has an inadequate understanding of the context in which pay TV services are provided in the UK and elsewhere. A proper appreciation of that context is an essential prerequisite to accurate analysis of the sector. Section 3 Overview of the UK pay TV market ¶ 3.13 “An estimated one million households also receive free-to-view digital satellite.” This appears to be Ofcom’s own estimate of the number of households who use a Sky set-top box to receive television services, but do not subscribe to Sky’s DTH pay TV services. (No source is provided for the estimate.) If this is the case Ofcom should note that the estimate of one million households is subject to a wide margin of error, being based, Sky understands, on an arbitrary assumption that a certain (constant) proportion of churners from Sky’s DTH pay TV services continue to use their set-top boxes to receive digital free to air television services. It is probable that the actual number of such households is substantially higher than this estimate. Moreover, this reference fails to note that all 8.8 million UK and ROI subscribers to Sky’s DTH pay TV service, and subscribers to other DTH pay TV services, also receive “free-to-view digital satellite”.

    Test Players Step up to Plate but Get Taken out at Whole New Ball Game

    Page 1 6 of 1783 DOCUMENTS The Times (London) October 6, 2008 Monday Test players step up to plate but get taken out at whole new ball game BYLINE: Josh Chetwynd SECTION: SPORT; Pg.64 LENGTH: 717 words * Trescothick's team strike out in Taunton A few years ago USA Today claimed that hitting a baseball was the hardest thing to do in sport (the newspaper listed stopping a penalty in football as the ninth hardest). Was the statement American hubris or a fair assessment? On Saturday the claim was put to the test as a team of cricketers, including Marcus Trescothick, Ashley Giles, Geraint Jones and Charl Willoughby, gave baseball a try, taking on the Great Britain team in Taunton as part of Trescothick's benefit year. Ian Chappell, the former Australia captain, who is probably the only person to represent his country in cricket and baseball, once said that the idea of a team of cricketers playing a baseball game "wouldn't be worth it". He added: "There would be no contest, absolutely no contest. Cricket's batsmen would struggle to get bat on ball, never mind hitting a home run." As a member of the Britain baseball team for ten years, I was hoping that Chappell would be proved right and that Trescothick and his crew would struggle to transform themselves from batsmen to batters and bowlers to pitchers. On paper at least, Chappell appeared to be correct in his assessment. The Britain team, who won the silver medal at the European Championships in 2007, won the game 21-1.
